"June was perhaps our most poorly reviewed month in IGN Xbox 360 history. Store shelves were packed with games -- almost all of which were bad. Few managed to stand out and only our winner for Game of the Month managed to truly earn our admiration.
Xbox 360 Game of the Month: Battlefield: Bad Company
Why We Picked It: "Battlefield: Bad Company is a great addition to the long-running series, despite the fact that it leaves the comfy confines of the PC world. The added storyline gives newfound depth to the formerly shallow single-player mode, despite the fact that the dramatization pales in comparison to what we've seen from Call of Duty 4. Where Bad Company truly shines is in its multiplayer and the technology that drives the game forward. Both raise the bar in their own right and give the competition something to strive for. In this summer relatively devoid of solid first-person shooters, Bad Company does enough to earn your hard-earned dough." – Nate Ahearn"
With the franchise’s mainline entries failing to find their footing in recent years, now is the perfect time for a Battlefield: Bad Company remake.
Of course there is no counter argument. This is what fans of the franchise have wanted for years. This and/or BF Bad Company 2.
When asked why there hasn't been another Bad Company:
“There's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?" DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer.
Troedsson says that he and his team can’t put their fingers on what it is that people loved about that branch of the brand. “It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us,” he says. “It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
With this multiplayer experiment going every way but right, it's time for Battlefield to return to what made it so great - a fun single player mode coupled with classic multiplayer.
BF is dead especially after this abysmal release.. what have EA done to this beloved franchise.. it’s really upsetting they are so far disconnected from what the actual fans want from this series.. such a same
If they would of made BC3 and stuck to the same formula as BC2 but gave it the next gen treatment it would of been a massive hit
Thing is i dont think they're capable of capturing what made those fun/different anymore.
EA knows players want BC3 the same way Activision knows players want MW2 back. They will not make it because the goal is to make games built around MTX and Battle Royale.
are you kidding me, NINJA GAIDEN 2 SLASHED THE F!CK OUTTA BATTLEFIELD AND EVERY GAME THIS YEAR SO FAR.
but people sure as hell seem to love there fps's
Agreed. I would pick Ninja Gaiden 2 over this game anyday. Battlefield has a joke of single player campaign and the online is poor as well. Multiplatform garbage.
@1.1: Anger Management? How cute. Looks like you are the one needing therapy having to cry about the PS3 in a thread that has nothing to do with the POS3. Poor wittle Fishhead, I know it's hard being in last place. The king is dead! Boohoo!
God it's annoying. The Single Player is amazing with the humor alone, destruction makes it so much more fun.
All the review was is *Call Of duty 4 this, lacked where Call Of Duty 4 was blah blah*
most people dont realize anything about the resolution until its mentioned. ninja gaiden 2 didnt nesccesarily suck but it just had a really bad story and unacceptable camera.
ok, i know a story makes a game(espicially for mgs fans like myself) but ninja gaiden 2 has some of the best gameplay a action adventure could have with the exception of technical difficulties.
nothing to do with it being exclusive or not, but then again, im more of an action adventure type of person more then a fps person so maybe im alittle biased. whatever though, it doesnt cause me to enjoy the games i play any less
